275days to go - 12weeks post surgery - back on a climbing-wall ;)

my hamstrings are still sore, sometimes more, sometimes less, mostly it's not "pain" just a strange feeling that you "feel" your muscles from the attachment at the but to the knee..., sitting on hard surfaces is not possible (yet), i am not yet aloud to start with jogging and i am still very restricted in what my hamstrings are ok to do. but things still improve (and will improve) every day a little bit.

i am very glad and thankful that i have such a great physio-team!!! they really start to push me and they try absolutely everything to get my muscles work and bring me back on rock again... ;)

one of the fancy machines i am training with ;) its a anti-gravity-tread-mill - it blows air into the ballon, lifts you up and you do not have that much impact on the injured part of your leg anymore. i am learning to run again on this one - alien-technology.. ;)

i am still months away from real bouldering, but its funny how much fun and satisfaction every little improvement can give you after just lying down on a couch for two months, like first time sitting normally again when going out to a movie, first time walking a bit faster then a 110year old, not feeling tired after 20min of walking AND first time on a bouldering-wall again - even without any foot-moves - just standing on a 15cm ledge and grabbing some jugs.... - that was a huge push for motivation ;) its great that i am aloud to start with some kind of very basic system-training on a system-climing-wall (just some very basic two-foot-moves)! i started with some really hard core-workout as well... things start to get WAY better and it feels great to feel the body again!!!

i know i(t) look stupid - but climbing at 8am is NOT my game...;) but its great they have this little wall in the physio-gym so we can check (real time) for the kind of moves that are ok and what is still too much for my hamstrings.
